Now we have stick-and-fall lawyers, a new industry. Even Saul
missed this one.

throw corn cobs you are playing cornhole.

if you throw bean bags you are playing beanbag.

this is name appropriation. no corn involved

[a fool in paradise]

That’s nothing. Try playing shuffleboard on a rubberized no-slip floor.

[Larry Lucido]

The judge.

[waterhill]

Oh, so its like washers. (tossing washers 20 ft. or so at a hole in a box.

[a fool in paradise]

yep

[jiggyboy]

Just sayin' but I had never heard this game referred to as cornhole until this July 4th at a party I attended. Now just 4 days later I hear it for only the second time.

Indeed. Two weeks ag ESPN was broadcasting a tournament. This past week they were playing it on Megyn Kelly's show. Could be at a higher level of awareness than usual because of the tournament.

An ambulance chaser is looking for a nuisance settlement. The floor functions as it’s supposed to, and the judicial “reasonable man” knows that grown-ups are able to walk into a room and make their way from point to point.

[Jemian]

I fall frequently, more lately. Shoot, I fall UP the stairs.

[Bitman]

Falling UP the stairs used to happen while I was in the military. I never fell, but some guys fell up 3 flights! They usually only did that once...

[Codeflier]

I don’t know you, but I know one thing about you! You obviously don’t tailgate at football games. LOL.

[New Perspective]

I always ask this from bar managers and owners here in South Carolina do the ever worry about guys from San Francisco starting fights when they find out that cornhole wasn’t what they thought it was.

Or they go to England and find out Big Ben is a clock

I once owned a house built in the late 20s. The stairs were just a little bit shorter than the standards adopted later. For awhile, those were the only stairs I used to I became used to them.

Then I took a job at a bank ops center in a 3 story building with those stupid slow-as-molasses elevators that the seem to put in everywhere these days. Taking the stairs was the only way to get anywhere on time. I don’t know how many times I tripped because I didn’t lift my foot up quite enough to clear the higher steps in that building. Took a long time to get used to them.

[Bonemaker]

Probably slipped while he was getting cornholed.

[Bonemaker]

“That word used to mean something completely different.”

It still does.

[CommerceComet]

Probably should be a warning sign.

There probably will be now - on all cruise ships.

Or curling.
